During a new attempt to create someone to destroy Spider-Man Norman Osborn helps his old partner Otto Octavius to create a way to help amputees but during the project Norman messes with things and accidentally creates a monster. Meanwhile Peter has had a pretty good time since he got rid of the symbiote but still hasn't gotten Mj to take him back, so he invites her to a coffee shop where a brainwashed Otto Octavius with his new mechanical arms is being controlled by Norman to kill Peter. Norman would kill Peter himself but thinks its smarter to have someone else take the fall for it. Otto throws a car through the window and Peter pushes Mj out of the way and catches it showing to Mj and everyone in the coffee shop that he is Spider-Man. Peter takes Mj and runs out the back of the building where he has a backpack with his suit, and he tells Mj to go home then he swings off. The movie ends with a fight between Otto and Peter underneath a crashing bridge where Peter finally gets the chip off of Otto's neck and frees him from the brainwashing but it's too late and Otto throws Peter out of the way and the bridge falls on him. Peter explains everything to Mj and now knowing about the symbiote she forgives Peter, but Peter lets her know he did all that stuff the symbiote just allowed him to do it and so now knowing Norman will send people after his loved ones Peter leaves Mj.
